As a result, #NickReiner, 32, did not enter a plea Wednesday. He had been represented by Alan Jackson, a well-known lawyer whose clients have included Harvey Weinstein & Kevin Spacey [so, not great guys]. Judge Theresa McGonigle rescheduled Reiner’s arraignment for Feb 23 & assigned his case to Kimberly Greene, a #PublicDefender.

"While defendants asked them to contest the prosecution’s evidence, to interview witnesses, to do anything, really, to challenge law enforcement’s narrative of the crime, they ushered almost all of them to plea deals instead, averaging just one jury trial for every 1,500 cases". #publicdefender https://calmatters.org/investigation/2025/12/the-walmart-of-public-defense/

Hello! I am new here. I am wife and mom to 3 kids, 1 dog, 7 lizards, and 1 amphibian. I am a #publicdefender in Florida (transplanted from Wyoming). I love to read and craft. Right now my main crafts are #knitting, #crochet, #Tunisiancrochet, and #crossstitch. I am getting into gardening and starting a Florida native plant garden. I look forward to this new (to me) platform!

All this nonsensical talk about our "Two-tiered Justice System" by GOP succubi.But they're right. Kinda.

"After Cyrus Gray was arrested and could not afford to pay #bail, he received an ominous message from staff at the Hays County Jail in #Texas.
'Get comfortable,' (they) said. 'You are going to be here a while'...
Gray spent four and a half years behind bars waiting for trial...He could not afford an attorney, and Hays County had no #PublicDefender office...
As of June 25, the median length of stay for people held pretrial in Hays County was 92 days."

I've been on Mastodon for a few months, and enjoying it. I've discovered people who are seeking justice, recognizing beauty, producing beauty, flagging important events, encouraging growth, and I love the community algorithm.

I'm not finding good sources of #CriminalLaw content, interesting developments in #CrimLaw that a #PublicDefender should know about or would find particularly interesting. I'm looking for those people

Hi there! Here is my #twitterrefugee #introduction. I am a #Publicdefender working on #criminaljustice policy issues and program development. I like data and numbers more than the average lawyer/social worker. Bike commuter; mediocre runner; hiking, kayaking, and camping enthusiast; Oxford comma supporter; goofy animal pics lover.

I never did an #introduction post. I am an #appellate federal #publicdefender. Previously a proud DC resident who practiced in the Eastern District of Virginia, now living in Los Angeles and working in the CDCa. #appellatetwitter #appellatemastodon #DCstatehood #abolishprisons

#introduction Hi. I'm a #publicdefender in #Memphis who likes, inter alia, cooking, animals, dive bars, science fiction, 80s and 90s thrillers, and learning stuff online. Grew up on IRC, enjoying the fediverse.
